Never done it!
Xuening's back stiffened for a moment, she rubbed her forehead, her eyes fell to the ground, not looking at anyone, her voice revealed an uncontrollable fatigue, "I'll say it again, I didn't do it, no matter what, even if I went to the police station, I only have these few words, I didn't do it."
Pei Li stood up and patted Pei Jin Cheng, "Jin Cheng, I believe Ah Xuan in this matter."
"Grandpa!" Pei Jin Cheng shouted, his temples throbbing with pain as if two whips were lashing at them.
"Ah Xun, you go rest, tomorrow is still you going to the company." Pei Li arranged for Shen Xun to leave.
"Good."
Bai Jincheng watched as Shen Xuan moved with a steady gait and straight back out of the study, but he himself was still seething with anger.
A-sheng poured water and never went upstairs again, but stood outside the first floor gate, waiting for Pei Li to finish talking.
The study was brightly lit, with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on all four walls, packed tightly with books. The layout was mostly the same as three years ago. When Pei Jin Cheng first entered after waking up, he thought he had just been there yesterday. Everything was spotless, but everything looked exactly as it did in his memory.
"Jin Cheng, actually this matter, you're not 100% sure it was Ah Xun who did it, right?" Pei Li said while fiddling with his prayer beads, and raised another hand to point at the position behind Pei Jin Cheng.
On the other side, there was a sofa, indicating that Pei Jin Cheng should sit down.
Pei Jin Cheng was taken aback for a moment. He looked at his grandfather's eyes, calm and steady. He let out a breath, turned around a few steps, and sat down.
Pei Li sat back in his chair, the position of the sofa was much lower than Pei Li's chair.
Then talking with the elder is looking up.
Pei's eyebrows spread out in a smile, and she murmured a soft "hmm?" from her nose, indicating that she was asking for more information.
Pei Jin Cheng did not respond.
The room suddenly fell silent, with only the soft sound of Buddhist beads colliding gently and evenly. "Jin Cheng, anyone who is human will have a private heart, and having a private heart means being biased. Nothing can be done to 100% justice. Grandpa knows you're not satisfied with Ah Xun. Actually, from your perspective, you're not wrong about this matter. Each of us has someone we want to protect, just like when you and Ah Xun are together, Grandpa can only be biased towards you, but when Ah Xun and Bai Shan are together, Grandpa must be biased towards Ah Xun."
Pei Jin Cheng looked at Pei Li, slightly furrowing his brow.
"You and Bai Shan have had feelings for over a decade, you protected her, that's not wrong. Outside of the law, there is still emotion, let alone having been the closest lovers in the past, so Grandfather doesn't want to blame you."
"Although, when I saw that letter, I also thought it was Ah Xun's doing in my heart. But Jin Cheng, from the sentence just now, it wasn't her doing. Grandfather dared to vouch for her, this matter has nothing to do with her, do you believe grandfather or not?"
Pei Jin Cheng felt a bit annoyed, he patted his pocket and looked at Pei Li again. Pei Li said calmly, "You smoke, Grandpa doesn't mind."
The lighter scraped out a faint blue flame, ignited the cigarette, and smoke drifted from the man's sensual lips, forming misty clusters that dispersed.
There's always a glimmer in the eyes of the elderly that young people can't see through, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow. "Jin Cheng, actually you don't believe it was Ah Xuan either, do you? Otherwise, with your hatred towards her, you would have reported to the police long ago, and wouldn't have taken back the letter? And spent so much thought into tricking her into writing those words for comparison? You actually didn't want to believe in your heart that it was Ah Xuan who did it, and you also wanted to help clear her name, right?"
